A good quality travel mug is a necessity when you have to take your coffee, tea, or other drinks with you as you travel. There are various kinds of travel mugs in the market today, and so, below are some things to consider when choosing a mug to buy:

• The two most common materials used for travel mugs are plastic and stainless steel. Of course, plastic is the less expensive one. But even if the stainless steel is more costly, it is the better option because it is sturdier. The plastic mugs can easily crack when dropped. Plus, they can t keep your beverage hot for long as the stainless steel mugs can. The steel travel mugs can give excellent performance, keeping your drink hot for as long as 1 hour. And if you want to keep your drinks hot or cold for longer periods, try the stainless travel mugs with insulation.

• The stainless mugs are also easier to clean as compared to plastic mugs where coffee residues can stain the cup. And over time, the plastic will absorb the coffee, and that accumulation will have an effect on the taste of the beverage. Your only option to fix this problem is to purchase another mug.

• If for some reasons that you still want the plastic travel mugs, just ensure that its liner is made from stainless steel. One benefit from this is that you will not be able to feel the warmth on the outer surface of the mug. Another advantage is, you can choose from different colors available.

• Consider what sort of lid or cover do you want? Take note that snap on lids can sometimes become unfasten when the travel mug is dropped or flip over. In this case, the screw on covers are a lot better as they will stay not come off whatever happens, this is the main idea of the travel mug, in the first place.

• See also how the sipping hole will be closed and opened when you wish to drink.

a) Would you go for the flap over type that snap shut?

b) Do you want the sliding type that remains closed or opened until you move it?

c) Or you prefer the press and sip type design, where the hole opens after you push the lever and then closes once you release it?

• Mugs especially designed for travelers are also available in different sizes. You can buy the smaller travel mug (8 oz.) if you only drink very little quantity. On the other hand, there are the bigger mugs, (16 to 20 oz.) if you are a big drinker.

After you have chosen the best travel mug that suits your personal tastes and requirements, be sure to take care of it to prolong its life. Rather than using the dishwasher, hand wash it instead. In the dishwasher, sometimes the residues of the soap are left in either the lid cover or in the travel mug itself. Thus, be sure to thoroughly rinse the mug when washing it to avoid unpleasant taste in your beverage. Finally, keep all these pointers in your mind, so that when you buy travel mugs next time, you will know what to look for.
